What the Team is Known For
Ten Old Square receives commendation for its "real strength and depth when it comes to all trust-related matters," with its barristers regularly interacting with high-stakes matters of a contentious and non-contentious nature, both onshore and offshore. Its expertise takes in everything from drafting trusts documents to trustee removal applications and disputes relating to breach of trust. Its members have recently handled an array of notable cases such as Mitchell v W T Fry Trustee Limited and others. This matter raised several prominent questions surrounding the scope for a beneficiary to bring derivative claims, and whether the ability to bring derivative claims is a viable defence to a claim for removal.
Keith Plowman is the senior clerk.
